Chapter 41: Chapter 041: The Demon’s Punishment 1

Ning Xixi’s thought process glitched as she retorted, "You want to wear it? Then I’ll give it to you! No worries, I’m very generous!"

Ji Yebai: "..."

Qiao Nancheng: "..."

Standing on the side, Xiao Xichen laughed himself silly: "Pfft... Sister-in-law, you’re really..."

Too hilarious!

Qiao Nancheng looked at Ji Yebai and asked earnestly, "Or, do, I, buy, buy one for you?"

Ji Yebai’s expression instantly became very complex.

"No need!" He squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth.

Qiao Nancheng nodded: "Oh."

...Oh, what the hell!

"Alright, here’s your scarf back. You’re wearing too little, aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?" Ning Xixi stuffed the scarf back to Qiao Nancheng, who was only in a school jacket over a shirt in the sub-zero winter, seemingly not afraid of the cold at all.

Qiao Nancheng accepted the scarf with a touch of disappointment: "Oh..."

He silently walked away, while Ning Xixi sneaked a glance at Ji Yebai.

This guy... was he jealous just now?

Could it be...

Could it be...

Could it be that Ji Yebai likes Qiao Nancheng?!

Ning Xixi was startled by her sudden wild imagination, looking at Ji Yebai with a face full of horror: "Ji Yebai, you, you, you... are you straight?"

How dare she doubt his sexual orientation? Ji Yebai ground his teeth and said, "Guess!"

Stupid girl!

Ning Xixi nodded as if she understood: "Oh, I got it."

Ji Yebai felt uneasy: "What did you get?"

It couldn’t be that there was some misunderstanding...

"No, no, no, there’s no need to explain! I understand everything! I totally get it!" Ning Xixi waved her hands dismissively.

Ji Yebai: ...Hmm, something seems off?

Ning Xixi opened her textbook to preview her lessons, but she couldn’t focus at all. Every time she thought of Qiao Nancheng and Ji Yebai together, she unintentionally felt... amused.

Her hand shook, and the pen fell to the ground, rolling a few times and stopping near the foot of Ji Yebai’s desk.

She bent over naturally to pick it up, not noticing that Ji Yebai’s body tensed up instantly!

Her little head was right against his legs, her hair splayed over them. This position, this distance... was quite ambiguous.

"Cough, cough." Ji Yebai coughed lightly, uncomfortable, and moved his chair back slightly, grumbling, "So clumsy! Hurry up!"

"You’re the clumsy one!" Ning Xixi muttered, grabbing her pen and standing up.

Ji Yebai breathed a sigh of relief, as if a weight had been lifted.

...

Break between classes.

Humming a tune, Ning Xixi intended to head to the snack bar to buy a bottle of water when she was stopped halfway.

"Ning Xixi! Stop right there!"

Emma, don’t tell me it’s another one of Ji Yebai’s little fans coming after me?

She turned on her heel to escape, with the person behind persistently chasing after her.

When both had run until they were out of breath, the girl bravely grabbed onto Ning Xixi’s leg.

"Ah ah ah! Let go, let go!" Ning Xixi screamed.

"Ning Xixi, I’ve prepared a thousand! Please, please sell me Master Ji’s information!"

Huh?

Turns out business came knocking at her door.

In a split second, Ning Xixi switched into money-loving mode: "Dear, for a thousand you can buy 100 of them! I will even throw in an extra 10 for free! Looking forward to your patronage, cash and transfers both welcome, dear!"

Not far away, someone who had been called out by Xiao Xichen to play ball suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Ning Xixi was actually selling his information?

This stupid girl, does she! Want! To! Die!
